PepMix™ Peptide Pools for Gene Therapy and Immunogenicity Testing!
Published on 15/11/2024
Imagine treating diseases by tweaking a person’s genetic code! This is gene therapy in a nutshell. By swapping out faulty genes, silencing malfunctioning genes, or even adding new genes, scientists can tackle complex conditions like hemophilia, cystic fibrosis, and certain immune deficiencies.
Delivering Genes
- Naked DNA: Simple, but limited in effectiveness. CRISPR-Cas9 tools breathe new life into this method, although non-human proteins like Cas9 can trigger immune reactions. To monitor and manage these, we have developed a Cas9 PepMix™ peptide pool for effective immune monitoring.
- Vector-Based Transfer: Viruses such as adenovirus (AdV) and adeno-associated virus (AAV) act as delivery vehicles for gene therapy. We offer a wide variety of different AAV and AdV PepMix™ peptide pools for immune testing against viral proteins like hexon, penton, and capsid proteins.
Peptide Pools are Key Players for Immune Monitoring & Immunogenicity Testing
Immunogenicity testing keeps gene therapies safe by ensuring that treatments do not cause unwanted immune responses. Our PepMix™ Peptide Pools are essential tools for immune monitoring and immunogenicity testing. Use them to
- Track immune responses during gene therapy to measure efficacy. Peptide pools enable detailed assessment of T-cell response with common techniques like ELISpot and ICS.
- Test for immune responses to viral vectors or proteins like Cas9, to ensure that therapies are as safe as they are effective.
- Also evaluate a potential immune response towards the expressed therapeutic protein. JPT can produce your target protein in a peptide pool format adapted to ICS or ELIspot immune monitoring.
- Measure immunogenicity against vector's proteins (Cas9, AAV capsid...) to ensure safety of your vector. A wide range of proteins are available on our catalog and others can be customized.
